[Blunderov] I was a bit surprised when Bush fired Brown, although he tried
very hard not to. (IMO this wriggling itself turned out to be a throwing of
good political capital after bad when he had to fire him anyway. It must
have (?) amplified public perception of suspect judgement.) For GW this
verged on an admission of guilt, not his habitual style. It sets a dangerous
(for him) precedent, and one from which he may not be able to retreat so
easily.
<sneaking and pouncing music> And the Plame game has not gone away. My
Google alerts have shown increased activity of late. Now more than ever, the
constrained firing of Rove would be hugely damaging to GW.

"It is clear that Karl Rove has begun to think outside the box in an effort
to prevent the President's approval rating from falling below freezing. His
new strategy appears to be to make Bush seem like a responsible adult.
Humility and accountability are valued leadership qualities and are to be
commended. But if Rove is serious about releasing his lame duck back to the
pond of political viability, humility and accountability should be extended
retrospectively to the initial five years of the Bush Administration."

What Google Alerts do you have set?
Mine are "transhumanism" and "thermal depolymerization"?
Can we do a virus poll.
I'd be very interested to see the results.

First, read Bruce Sterling's "Distraction", and then read http://electionmethods.org.

[Blunderov] Just 'Plame/Rove' ATM. I could get more use out of alerts to be
sure. I've found some interesting places with just this one.
Talking of the Plame game; I'm getting a bad feeling about GW's appointment
of Rove to supervise the Katrina repairs. It doesn't much look like the
action of someone who expects to have to fire Rove anytime soon.
Today's philosophical quote from the Philosopher's Magazine Online seems
apposite:
"Is it of the very essence of the truth to be impotent and of the very
essence of power to be deceitful? And what kind of reality does truth
possess if it is powerless in the public realm, which more than any other
sphere of human life guarantees reality of existence to natal and mortal
men--that is, to beings who know they have appeared out of non-being and
will, after a short while, again disappear into it?"
Hannah Arendt--Truth and Politics
Best regards.
